I've been using the hotels in the 427/dundas area for short stays 50-80. I'm looking for similar in downtown and west of downtown area. Particularly for 1pm checkin for 3-5 hrs . I couldn't find threads to help. Can I please get the help from a captain?
Many hotels, depending on availability, will offer a day rate. You will most likely have to up your budget for someplace half decent DT. In my limited experience of booking a day rate, cost is ~1/2-2/3 of the going overnight rate.
